TONO is a non-profit cooperative, founded in 1928, owned and managed by its members: composers, lyricists and music publishers. TONO manages performance rights for musical works in Norway, and collects royalties for their public performance. TONO has more than 33,000 composers, lyricists and music publishers as direct members.
Through cooperation agreements with similar companies in other countries, TONO also manages the rights of approximately 3 million authors in the Norwegian territory. As a non-profit enterprise, TONO's results are transferred to the rights holders in performed musical works. TONO thus facilitates the use of music in society, while at the same time providing authors with a basis for constantly creating new musical works. For more information, visit www.tono.no.
